  offramp: He is the author of <Lorna Doone>. I ain't read it, but it is famous. Perhaps it has been made into a film, or perhaps some of his chess games have been made into a Viewmaster Disc.

I think R D Blackmore vs N Fedden, 1873 was annotated by the great Steinitz.

I don't know about "told simply". I think we're in for some deep purple prose.

  MissScarlett: The film isn't bad. I gave it 6/10. I like the actor, Richard Greene. The rest of the cast are American.
